If still in tutorial, might want to check out the tutorial guides....
http://pswiki.xordan.com/index.php/Tutorial_Walk_ThroughAlso... tips I give new people...
first, drop the "please" "if you don't mind" and any other extra verbage... confuses the NPCs....
Second...
I met the guide but in one part tells me that Xargon Guurn said: That one of the sounds over the most interesting to you?
The guide said that the fighter but I say that and tells me what the NPC. I'm from Dermorian race. 
Um... you have to be exact in your wording.... "fighter", not"the fighter" and how you relate what was told to you...actually was probably "Xargon Guurn says: Which one of the above sounds the most interesting to you?" attention to detail will pay you back in spades in the future (um.. an idiom.. saying... meaning "it will be worth it by a large measure"
If you make it into yliakum... look up Bamko.. I will try to help you some if you need it.
By the way.. not using the walkthrough will help you more.. but I got stuck... and needed it.. and I speak english as a first language.... (um... kinda anyway, eh?) Remember, dealing with NPC's is sometimes like playing "guess the obscure phrase" ... Be patient... and ask for help ingame... we will get through this together!
and finally.. welcome
